WILD FLOWERS, TAMED FLOWERS, AND A GREAT DOG

It has been a wet spring and early summer in Montana. Tell us, we spent the whole day picking, spraying, and weed-wacking weeds and wild grasses. But one of the benefits of all this "moisture", as it's called in our neck of the woods, is that wild flowers are more abundant and stick around longer. Our garden, which we have managed to keep alive and thriving since 2005 when we left Montana as permanent residents, also doing looks happy

Then, there are the flowers from our garden...

...and the great dog

BONUS PICTURE: this evergreen plant has been sprung up about 5 years ago in between the rocks in our garden and the walkway and it has been growing unattended ever since
